Yes, I have taken the lazy way and am asking for opinions. I am currently using Hbase for my application and now am considering some other uses.
My application will be storing thousands of XML files used for configuration. It uses thousands since it is multitenant. Most customers will be in the hundreds. Presently I store these on the whatever file system the application server happens to be running on. I would like to move them to a resource that could be better shared. My thought is either to store them in an hbase table or store them directly into hadoop. File sizes should be less than 100KB. Response time is not critical. Pros? Cons? Gotchas? Opinions?
